Ultimately, the ideal learner is someone who is motivated, engaged, and interested in learning,

and who is able to apply their knowledge and skills in meaningful ways

Self-Discipline
Self-discipline is the first thing that schools need to inculcate in the students. A student who is
disciplined understands the importance of their education. They set their priorities right and
understand the difference between important and unimportant activities. They set their goals
themselves and do not need a push from parents or teachers.

2. Goal-Oriented
Being goal driven is also an important quality of a good student. A student needs to have both
long and short-term goals. Having goals gives a clear picture to the students of what they are
working towards. It gives them a clear objective. Short-term goals may be anything like
achieving 90% in the finals or as small as topping the class test.

3. Punctuality
A good student does not ever miss out on deadlines or get late. Being on time is challenging but
is one of the important qualities of a good student. They reach the school early and maintain a
good impression in the eyes of teachers. It also helps them to never miss early events or
productive activities.

4. Diligence and Hard Work

A student should be diligent in his/her studies and should know to overcome procrastination and
laziness. When a student is hard-working, diligence follows them. They should always be willing
to put effort into their studies in order to get a great output.
5. Respectful
Paying respect to seniors, teachers, professors, school personnel, and fellow students shows the
quality of a good student. It shows that you are disciplined and are decent as a person. Hence, a
student needs to have a habit of greeting everyone nicely and showing good behavior to fellow
mates.

6. Passionate
Another quality of a good student is being passionate. They are passionate about their studies and
are interested in learning. They listen carefully to lessons and are always asking questions. They
want to learn as much as possible.

7. Motivation
A student needs to be self-motivated. A motivated student always has something to look forward
to and to work towards. They are determined and do not easily give up. They like growth and are
keen to learn new things. They are always willing to grow their skills and knowledge.

8. Organization
Being organized is one of the important qualities a student should have. They have a record of
their assignments, due dates, and exams and have a defined routine to cover their syllabus.

Organized students know how to make the best use of their time. They keep a record of their
notes and have an understanding of the resources they need to be successful.

9. Responsible
A good student takes charge of their learning. They are responsible for their assignments and
know that they must get the work done. They never make excuses and willingly take part in new
learnings and assignments.

10. Honesty
Being honest is the quality of a good student. Cheating never makes a good student. Hence,
schools should encourage their students to keep their distance from cheating even if they do not
achieve perfect grades.

11. Resourceful
Being resourceful is yet another quality of a good student. Being resourceful means being
available to help in class, to fellow students, and even to teachers.

A resourceful student has solutions to situations when the situation seems to be helpless. A
resourceful student tends to finish a project even when they are short of funds for it. They recycle
the old supplies to perform the project.

12. Competitiveness
A good student possesses a healthy competitive spirit, which drives them to excel academically
and strive for continuous improvement. They see challenges as opportunities to grow and push
themselves to reach their full potential.
Good students are attentive and focused in the classroom. They actively participate in
discussions, take thorough notes, and ask relevant questions. They are committed to
understanding the subject matter and absorbing information effectively.

Conclusion
Regardless of the performance of students in the class, it is important to focus on the qualities
they learn. Good grades are not the only factor to determine a good student, there are other
factors to determine it too. Schools should help students get involved in co-curricular activities,
interact well with teachers and fellow students along with being eager for studies.
Set goals Goals, both short and long-term, are a great way to measure your success. If you don’t
have goals in sight, you have nothing to achieve or strive for in your courses. If you set concrete
goals for yourself, it’s easier to become motivated and measure your success in those goals.
Make sure your goals are realistic! While you should challenge yourself, you shouldn’t set
yourself up for failure, either. Remember, you can always set higher goals once you’ve achieved
your first set. 2. Adopt and stick to a study schedule Scheduling is vital to maintaining a healthy
learning balance and keeping up with rigorous courses. 3. Stay well-rested If you’re awake and
alert, you’re certainly more likely to absorb information given in class, during study sessions and
in class activities and participation. Think of it as an equation: awake + alertness = A’s. 4. Take
advantage of educator resources In addition to attending class, there are a variety of resources
available to aid students in thriving and achieving in class. TA’s, office hours and study review
sessions are amongst the resources offered within specific classes. Additionally, many high
schools and colleges offer tutoring sessions free of charge to students who seek extra help with
their courses. 5. Healthy study techniques for proper exam preparation Study techniques
considered “healthy” include balance, time-management and avoiding all-night study “cram”
sessions. Information is certainly easier to absorb when reviewed in increments, rather than
procrastinating until the last minute. 6. Develop note-taking skills Listening and taking notes
actively during class not only ensures the recording of accurate information, but also reinforces
the information through recording the information as you take it in. Have you ever gone back to
your notes when it comes time to study for the exam and find that they are illegible or difficult to
understand? It’s helpful to go over your note after class and either rewrite them or outline the key
information while it’s still fresh in your mind. You’ll find it’s much easier to utilize your notes
and retain clearer information, come exam time. Clearly, it also provides you with any important
information that was only mentioned in class when it comes time to review and study the exam
material. 7. Extracurricular activities Try to create a life outside of academics, like participation
in extracurricular activities, such as intramural sports or college clubs. Contrary to popular belief,
extracurricular activities increase a student’s overall college experience, contribute to the
learning process and aiding in balancing scheduling skills. 8. Study buddies Collaborating with
other students is a great way to learn – as long as you’re sure to choose students who you’ll stay
on task with. Try finding various students in your class, rather than friends you already have. It
can expand your social group and you’re more likely to stay focused on the school work.
Students who form study groups with one another can often learn more through learning by
teaching. When students explain concepts to one another, they are able to learn and absorb the
information more easily. Inversely, students that may need clarification on areas of study are able
to ask peers in order to be able to better understand the course materials. 9. Take advantage of
school resources Utilizing school resources for setting goals and creating positive study habits
tremendously aids in a student’s success. School resources are abundant and students who take
advantage of such resources are much more likely to succeed. Such resources include the
utilization of school libraries, career centers and school centers that provide tutoring and
knowledge (for example: student writing centers, math centers, etc). 10. Take on a manageable
course load When taking on a well-balanced course load, students are more likely to succeed
because of realistic expectations in the work load that can be handled successfully. 11.
Attendance This should be common sense – if students go to class, they will likely become more
successful in the course. Obviously, the course material is presented during class periods and
students that are paying attention tend to learn while in class and, thus, are more likely to
perform well on exams. 12. Participation Going to class is one thing but paying attention and
participating in class is another. If you listen to the lessons, questions are likely to arise. If they
come up in class, ask! If you’re too shy in a large class, wait and ask the professor after class or
during office hours. It’s important to know, however, that if you’ve got a question, it’s likely that
other students have the same question as well. Whatever you do, DO NOT wait until it comes
time to study for the exams!
